FY20 Commodities Outlook
FY20 Guidance
Notes
1) Wet metric tonnes for 100% of project output.2) MRL has assumed a AUD:USD foreign exchange rate of 0.680 in estimating Profit Share Commodity Project operating costs. 3) $3/wmt increase in mine gate costs as the mine deepens; $7/wmt increase in freight, port and royalty costs from macro issues (FX and commodity prices).

• The partial sale of Wodgina has released US$820 million for
reinvestment
• MRL has subsequently allocated additional capital to reduce
the cost of iron ore operations in the Yilgarn region, and to
expand that business to a life of over 10 years
• Investment in the Yilgarn includes a new crusher at
Koolyanobbing, a stacker, bucketwheel reclaimer,
automatic train loader and haul roads
• Expenditure of $50 million is required to maintain operations
at Iron Valley until March 2021
• MRL also expects to spend up to $20 million in stages on
drilling and feasibility work on iron ore in the Pilbara
• MRL is evaluating a number of investment opportunities to
underpin expansionary activities and these would be
additional to current plans

Capability and track record
• 26 year heritage has created a strong culture of accountability and focus on
detail
• Strong, proven track record in identifying investment opportunities and
generating outstanding returns from them
• In-house expertise across the full project lifecycle, from exploration to sales
and shipping, allows us to evaluate opportunities accurately and quickly
Investment philosophy
• Every dollar spent is valued
• Target opportunities that allow us to utilise our expertise in mining services
and generate recurring earnings
• Focus is on opportunities that will be robust regardless of movements in
commodity prices
15
Investment philosophy
Koolyanobbing
• Focus is on production
increase to 11Mtpa run
rate by Q3 FY20
• Expected to produce and
export between [8]Mt
and [9]Mt, with 40%
lump product
• Average cost/tonne may
increase marginally on
FY19 due to external
equipment to support
expansion
Iron Valley
• Focus on maintaining
production as water &
quality issues increase
• Expected to produce and
export between [5.5]Mt
and [6.5]Mt, with 40%
lump product
• Average cost per tonne
expected to increase by
around [5]% on FY19 as
the mine deepens
Marillana
• 6 month test drilling
programme to further
optimise process design
• If successful, commence
approvals for mine site
construction
Kumina
• Complete drilling
programme by end of 2019
• Planned update to JORC by
end FY20
• Revised Albemarle transaction completed on 1 November 2019 and a joint venture was established:
• 60% Albemarle: 40% MRL
• MRL transferred 60% interest in Wodgina Lithium Project to Albemarle
• Albemarle transferred a cash payment of US$820 million
• MRL received 40% interest in first two 25Ktpa lithium hydroxide conversion units currently being built by Albemarle at its
Kemerton lithium hydroxide facility
Kemerton Hydroxide Facility
• Albemarle will fund the construct and commissioning of the Kemerton facility, estimated to cost $1.2 billion on a 100% basis
(US$480m for 40%):
• Where costs are less than US$1.2 billion, Albemarle will pay MRL 40% of the amount that is less than US$1.2 billion
• Where costs are more than US$1.2 billion, MRL will be free-carried for its 40% share
• Facility due for commissioning by Albemarle starting in first half of 2021
• At least 1 year ahead of previous plan to construct lithium hydroxide conversion plant on Wodgina site
17
Wodgina Lithium Transaction
• MARBL JV placed the Wodgina Lithium Project on care and
maintenance on 1 November 2019
• Transition to care and maintenance expected to take 4 weeks
• Decision made in recognition of challenging global lithium
market conditions and to preserve value of world-class
Wodgina orebody
• Cost of care and maintenance will not be material in FY20
• JV will regularly review market conditions with view to
resuming spodumene concentrate production as market
demand requires
• There is no doubt lithium will have a dominant role in the
energy storage business for years to come
18
Wodgina Lithium ProjectOperation
• Initially took over operation expecting 6Mtpa for 5 years
• Developing long life mine based on a production rate of 11Mtpa
• Current resource of 108Mt in region with 87Mt of measured indicated
resource
• Resources of 36.2Mt at Parker Range
• Exploration target – 30 to 83Mt at Mt Richardson under JORC
• From an initial rune rate of 6Mtpa at end of 2018; increased to 7.5Mtpa
by end June 2019; increasing to11Mtpa by early Q3 FY20
• 11Mtpa is underpinned with rail & port infrastructure
• In 2018, commend the McGowan Government to try and preserve 400
regional jobs and hundreds of indirect jobs
• By 2020 the project will directly employ 654 people across the mine, rail
& port
Yilgarn Tenement Portfolio

Iron Ore in the YilgarnKoolyanobbing
• 6,600 square kilometers of highly prospective acreage in
the Perth Basin
• Adjacent to 3 of the largest onshore conventional gas
discoveries within Australia in the last 5 years
• Red Gully conventional gas production facility on care
and maintenance – requires additional wells to bring
back on line
• In 2020 we are planning:
• 250 kilometres of seismic
• one conventional gas exploration well – 4.5km deep
• We aim to be self-sufficient in gas to provide energy
security, reduced reliance on diesel and lower carbon
emissions
20
Perth Basin
• During FY19, undertook a detailed materiality review and
identified 6 key sustainability performance indicators
• Applied the Global Reporting Initiative Standards and
obtained independent external assurance for the first
time
